treat Store Artist Profile – Beth Lamont

Posted on 25 June 20162 July 2016 by stefanie cheong

Beth Lamont trained as a Jeweller at Duncan of Jordanstone College of Art.

Inspired by the clean form and touch of porcelain she uses ceramics as a medium to make her jewellery and objects. Beth uses a process called SLIP CASTING to create shapes from hand carved forms which she finishes off with a luxurious gold luster glaze.

SLIP CASTING is a ceramic making technique that involves making a plaster mold from a master. The master can be made from wood, clay or even plastic. It can also be hand carved, built or an already pr-existing item. Beth hand makes all of her own masters and molds in her Edinburgh studio. Liquid clay called slip is then poured into the mold until a desired thickness is reached, the remaining clay is then poured back out. The item is left to dry then is de-molded, finished with a glaze and then fired in the kiln.

Gold Lustre Pot £42 and Tea Lights £26 each

Gold Lustre Octagonal Pot £42

Octagonal Pot £36 and Tea Lights £20

Beth is on a roll as she has also been chosen as a finalist for an Etsy award in the Fashion and Accessories category, well done Beth!
